Exclusive: Carolina Herrera's Charity T-shirt for Saks

A Venezuelan aristocrat, Carolina Herrera's position of privilege has long enabled her to use her reputation for a charitable cause. The designer is helping kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a limited-edition T-shirt to support Key to The Cure, Saks Fifth Avenue's aptly named campaign to find treatment for women's cancers. The three-quarter-length cotton tee has a tree printed on the front with a world map representing the leaves—each continent filled with little pink hearts—and Herrera's signature fixed under the trunk.

"The inspiration was a design to express hope and show this is a global cause touching and connecting hearts worldwide," Herrera told ELLE.com.

The T-shirt retails for $35 and is available now at all Saks Fifth Avenue and Saks Fifth

Avenue OFF 5th stores, as well as online at saksfifthavenue.com. One hundred percent of the proceeds from each shirt will benefit Key to The Cure. The store also plans to donate two percent of purchases from Thursday, October 18 to Sunday, October 21 to women's cancer charities throughout the country.
